Player Characters Part 5 - Classes

Classes fall in one of four roles. Defenders, Skirmishers, Controllers, and Leaders. Each has it's own strengths and weaknesses.

Defenders are strong front line fighters. They protect the remainder of the party by slowing down enemies and drawing their attacks. Those who want to play the defender role, may choose the Fighter or Paladin classes.

Skirmishers are mobile attackers, capable of quickly dealing massive damage with precision strikes. Options available to those who want to play a skirmisher are the Rogue, Ranger, and Warlock

Controllers affect the ebb and flow of battle with area affects and powers that force enemies to waste attacks, movement, or resources. Wizards are the only pure controller class at this time.

Leaders improve their allies abilities, provide healing, and overall increase the effectiveness of their party. Both Clerics and Warlords are leaders.
